Teradek Bolt 6 XT Series: Zero-Delay 4K Wireless Video on the 6GHz Band
Step into the future of professional wireless video with the Teradek Bolt 6 XT Series. Engineered for the most demanding production environments, the Bolt 6 XT delivers pristine, color-accurate 4K HDR video with Teradek’s patented Zero-Delay technology, transmitting in under 0.001 seconds. This next-generation system is your ultimate solution for cutting through signal congestion and achieving unwavering reliability on set.
The standout feature of the Bolt 6 XT is its ability to operate on the newly opened 6GHz wireless frequency. In a world crowded by Wi-Fi, mobile phones, and other 5GHz devices, the 6GHz band offers a significantly quieter spectrum with 12 additional channels. This means less interference, fewer dropouts, and a more stable connection, giving you confidence when it matters most. For backward compatibility with your existing Bolt 4K gear, the system can seamlessly switch to 5GHz mode when needed.
Beyond its revolutionary wireless performance, the Bolt 6 XT has been completely redesigned for the modern filmmaker. The new chassis is smaller, lighter, and runs cooler and 50% quieter than its predecessors, integrating effortlessly into any camera rig. It features robust 12G-SDI and HDMI 2.0 inputs and outputs, supporting full DCI 4K resolution in beautiful 10-bit 4:2:2 HDR. An integrated 5-pin USB port enables wireless camera control when paired with SmallHD Smart Monitors, streamlining your on-set workflow. Setup and signal monitoring are intuitive with the powerful Bolt Manager App for iOS and Android.
The Bolt 6 XT series is built for scalability and flexibility. It is fully cross-compatible with the entire Teradek Bolt 4K series, allowing you to expand your existing toolkit without replacing it. Connect a single transmitter to up to six receivers, or an unlimited number in Broadcast Mode on MAX models. With line-of-sight range options of 750ft, 1500ft, and 5,000ft+ (MAX), plus optional Gold and V-Mount battery plates, there’s a Bolt 6 XT configuration perfect for any production scale.

Additional charges for customs clearance must be paid for by the recipient; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country; and when customs clearance procedures are required, it can cause delays beyond our original delivery estimates. We advise that you contact your local customs office for more information.
